1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,200
so many boxes today okay what is all this crap

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:11,679
it's razer's new huntsman mini keyboard from their huntsman line now they have a

3
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:17,119
60 keyboard joining the line a 60 keyboard is a small keyboard it has no

4
00:00:14,559 --> 00:00:21,279
numpad no function row no navigation keys like home and end no arrow keys

5
00:00:19,279 --> 00:00:25,519
it's just the alphanumerics pretty cool pretty tiny let's look at it but what's

6
00:00:23,039 --> 00:00:30,160
this other crap i have some extra keycaps we'll get to those in a bit and

7
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:34,559
some special boxes i haven't even opened these i can only guess what's inside and

8
00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:38,320
i can also further guess that this is not available to the public so is it

9
00:00:36,559 --> 00:00:41,680
even worth unboxing right after this message from our sponsor that we might

exclusive bonus what's this

19
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:24,960
this is uh just a wooden box some kind of metal hinges there's a

20
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:30,880
button on the front oh all right

21
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:34,479
okay cool it is a keyboard and it's personalized

22
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:39,119
how do i get you out of here oh this little pull tab maybe

23
00:01:37,119 --> 00:01:42,640
it's a ShortCircuit on it that is cool again i'm pretty sure you will not be

24
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:48,799
able to get this definitely can't get a ShortCircuit one but here's the keyboard what else we have in this box

25
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:53,520
dominate on a different scale ha cute writing our first 60 keyboard available

26
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:57,920
in razer clicky or improved linear optical switches improved experiencing

27
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:02,399
lightning fast actuation in our most compact form factor yet for gamers by

28
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:09,200
gamers razer also comes with

29
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:10,800
a bag which undoubtedly holds the usbc

30
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:14,560
cable there it is it has a nice razer cable

31
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:18,879
tie flexible multiple steps

32
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:23,120
usbc on that side usb a on that side and it's white

33
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:26,239
matches the keyboard now what do we have in our other wood box

34
00:02:26,879 --> 00:02:33,680
huh is it a black one huh yes it is okay cool let's see if i

35
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:39,200
can do this trick twice oh this one actually just comes out like normal

36
00:02:36,239 --> 00:02:39,200
this is the clicky one

37
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:47,120
black cable black cable tie and even black little what do you call these hats

38
00:02:44,239 --> 00:02:51,680
condoms wait a second whoa that's sweet there's actually little grooves

39
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:56,400
in this channel that correspond to female grooves on the plug

40
00:02:53,680 --> 00:03:00,640
so that there's no risk of the cable getting yanked in this direction which

41
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,640
would bend

42
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:08,720
bend the end that is just a nice step for longevity

43
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:13,760
and durability things that razer has not traditionally been known for so good for

44
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:17,519
them for trying to rebuild their brand in that respect here they are

45
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:21,360
but that's not really a complete unboxing because that's not the box you guys are gonna get so why don't we just

46
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:25,280
rip through here really quickly this is the clicky option in this box which they

47
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:29,120
call purple their linears are also called red cherry style

48
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:35,120
oh that really hurt this key is too girthy

49
00:03:32,799 --> 00:03:35,120
andy

50
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:43,840
okay inside this much more simple box your keyboard actually comes with

51
00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:43,840
plastic around it shrink wrap

52
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:50,400
and again the black one is clicky now the

53
00:03:48,319 --> 00:03:54,879
mercury or white color and the black color are each available with either the

54
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:59,519
clicky or linear you can mix and match it's just by coincidence that both my

55
00:03:57,439 --> 00:04:03,120
blacks are clicky look at all these keyboards and we also

56
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,760
have yeah there's the cable for that one and

57
00:04:04,879 --> 00:04:10,879
a little bag of books here you've got a great device in your hands

58
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:14,319
complete with a two year limited warranty

59
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:18,880
serial number oh look at that on the back that's nice it says four gamers by

60
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:22,560
gamers over and over again like some kind of bart simpson chalkboard

61
00:04:20,799 --> 00:04:25,680
punishment that's just cool it's on the bottom it's like when the inside of your

62
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:30,720
clothes like the inside of your hood has a nice neat pattern that you don't see that often you get that one's like dress

63
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:34,479
shirts sometimes by the cups or in the collar and it's just a nice touch even

64
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:39,520
though it's seldom seen there's stands six for six degree and nine degree tilt

65
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:42,560
configurations i mean they're both nice i would

66
00:04:41,199 --> 00:04:50,080
probably go black but it depends on your setup if you have a white case or a white mouse already or your monitor yeah

67
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:52,479
they're both nice so

68
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:55,800
where to begin how about the feel how about the feel

69
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:03,280
now these are a lot quieter than previous huntsman keyboards i understand

70
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,600
that they actually made an adjustment to the switch

71
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:10,400
where they basically underneath that plus sign

72
00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:14,479
that you see there there's a like column a tube inside of that tube they place

73
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:18,320
dampeners they used to have like a this metallic kind of ping that had this

74
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,600
kind of roll off on it you know when keyboards were like

75
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:28,560
they used to have that it's not so bad anymore so the linear switches require 40

76
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:31,199
grams of force to actuate and they just bottom out of course because they're

77
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:34,160
linear there's no tactile bump or anything in them and these are optical

78
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:38,400
switches they say that they're a little bit faster they have fewer mechanical

79
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:42,400
moving parts so they should have higher durability be more consistent the issue

80
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:46,639
with it though is that these switches could come out you still couldn't pop in

81
00:05:44,639 --> 00:05:50,560
any other switches other than just i guess maybe the linears like whatever

82
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,800
that razor provides you know whereas if you just got a normal mechanical

83
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:56,400
keyboard there's just myriad switches available

84
00:05:54,960 --> 00:06:00,960
thousands of them all different types you can really get into it with this you're kind of just married to what you

85
00:05:58,639 --> 00:06:06,080
get if what you get is good then stay married to it whatever

86
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:10,720
these keys are pretty consistent and then on the clicky side

87
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:13,120
these sound okay not not the best sound i've ever

88
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:20,160
these only take 45 grams of actuation force

89
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:23,039
this is still a gaming keyboard you really don't have to press very far i

90
00:06:21,759 --> 00:06:28,720
feel like i could get my shots off pretty immediately all right so why get a 60 percenter two

91
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,840
reasons really either aesthetics if you have a really clean setup you want

92
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:36,319
everything to be minimal and the second reason to get a 60 is if you are the

93
00:06:34,319 --> 00:06:39,680
type of person who has a low sensitivity mouse and you're playing shooters and

94
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:43,680
you just need a lot of space for your mouse ARM to whip around it can be nice

95
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:47,840
to not have that extra stuff on your keyboard so you don't have to reach as

96
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:51,440
far you have more desk real estate and you don't get as much shoulder strain

97
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:55,840
actually a third reason is portability it's way easier to put a 60 percenter

98
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:59,599
into your backpack and go to a lan party or an esports tournament than it is a

99
00:06:57,759 --> 00:07:04,000
full-size keyboard productivity wise it sucks not having a

100
00:07:01,759 --> 00:07:08,240
numpad for me it sucks using second functions but razer says you lose no

101
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:12,639
functionality on this keyboard because all the second functions are available

102
00:07:10,479 --> 00:07:17,199
on a secondary layer and you can see where they are by looking at the side

103
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:20,880
printed legend on these keys i want to plug this in because i want to see if

104
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:26,240
the light shines through there uh and no it looks like the side

105
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:30,960
printed legend is just it's just on there to be fair i don't think i've ever

106
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:33,680
seen secondary functions be lit up so now you can see the light is shining

107
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:37,199
through these other keys and that is because these are double shot injected

108
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:41,440
which means that the black area you see here is one layer of plastic and it

109
00:07:39,199 --> 00:07:45,440
would have had a hole in it for the words and then there's a second layer of

110
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:50,000
plastic which is white you can see it therefore you can never scratch that off

111
00:07:47,919 --> 00:07:53,280
there's no way to scratch this off it's impossible you'll wear through your

112
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:57,680
fingers first another thing is that these are pbt plastic and so they're not

113
00:07:55,919 --> 00:08:00,800
going to get shiny you know when you use a keyboard for a long time and you don't

114
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:04,479
wash your hands between eating and gaming what happens is the plastic

115
00:08:02,479 --> 00:08:08,319
degrades and you get this like shiny look on the most commonly used

116
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:13,199
keys that's not gonna happen to these so that's nice i guess it's a good time to talk about

117
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:16,879
these other sold separately key caps that we got here

118
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:22,720
they're mostly just different colors these are black razor green mercury

119
00:08:19,599 --> 00:08:23,840
white and quartz pink so if you wanted

120
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:28,160
to have a black chassis with white keycaps

121
00:08:25,919 --> 00:08:31,360
or vice versa or if you wanted to just what i think looks cool just have a

122
00:08:29,759 --> 00:08:35,200
certain number of them swapped out so you kind of have like a half and half

123
00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:38,320
look like panda style i think that can look really cool striking

124
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:45,920
is this really necessary oh yeah all like little stabilizers and

125
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:49,440
oh man they're like vacuum sealed in here it's like their tofu or something

126
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:53,360
see the issue with these is that they don't have the side printing for your

127
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:57,440
secondary functions i mean i guess that's kind of understandable and for 30

128
00:08:55,120 --> 00:09:01,120
bucks this is actually a decent value oh and you get a keycap removal tool so wow

129
00:08:59,839 --> 00:09:05,839
i don't know how well the quartz is gonna go with this black they're kind of

130
00:09:02,959 --> 00:09:05,839
opposite pallets

131
00:09:06,399 --> 00:09:12,560
yeah that looks pretty bad i think i should have put it on let's

132
00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:16,560
try it on the white one yeah this is already so much better

133
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:20,080
ah that's nice it's cute

134
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:25,120
when you have the colored keycaps like this though i feel like you're a little more limited with what RGB colors you

135
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:29,519
can choose because some colors they just don't look great when they're shining through

136
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:32,320
and so you might want to just restrict yourself to something that

137
00:09:30,959 --> 00:09:36,880
looks good with the color like i don't feel like the red going through here looks very

138
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:42,080
good so like basically any keyboard you can get it has n key rollover it's got

139
00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:45,440
anti-ghosting uh it actually despite being at 60

140
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:49,600
it has a standard bottom row which is nice sometimes these get kind of screwed

141
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:54,720
up and things are moved around this is standard uh it also has a game mode so that your

142
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:58,399
Windows key won't come up in games uh there's even media keys on the secondary

143
00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:02,320
row the one thing that you can't do on board despite being able to have five

144
00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:06,880
keyboard profiles that you can save on device and despite there being some

145
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:11,519
default RGB settings as you saw me cycle through on device there is no ability

146
00:10:08,959 --> 00:10:15,279
for you to create a new RGB profile and then save that to your device and take

147
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:18,800
it somewhere you can make your own custom RGB profile but you have to do

148
00:10:16,959 --> 00:10:22,079
that in razer's synapse software and then it'll save to your account on

149
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:26,720
sydnaps so if i brought this keyboard somewhere else i would have to plug it into that machine get synapse on that

150
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:30,880
machine log in and then i could have my profile

151
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:36,160
again on this but uh the build quality is pretty nice it's got an aluminum

152
00:10:33,839 --> 00:10:40,399
faceplate on it here and you know you don't really get that much deck flex

153
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:43,920
with these as is so it feels pretty stable it's not as fat as that candy bar

154
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:48,560
keyboard i had a little while ago on ShortCircuit and for weight we're

155
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:53,839
looking at 430-ish grams which is like that's fine

156
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:58,000
it's pretty average in terms of weight i wouldn't call it heavy for its size

157
00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:03,519
or really too light it's just pretty it's kind of normal pricing wise kind of

158
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:08,480
weird 120 dollars for the clicky version making it the

159
00:11:05,839 --> 00:11:12,480
cheapest in the huntsman lineup however an extra 10

160
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:16,560
for the presently unavailable linear version weird that there's a

161
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:20,959
price difference i think it's because they just revamped the linear switches from their previous iterations so maybe

162
00:11:19,519 --> 00:11:24,320
they had to cover some r d cost or something there but 10 bucks difference

163
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:28,959
not the cheapest keyboard out there but it's razer so what did you expect it's

164
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:32,000
not a groundbreaking device but um it's cool

165
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:36,640
you'll probably like it i don't know if they're going to last in the long term we'll have to wait and see

166
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:40,480
but you get a 2-year warranty so whatever if you're a fan of razer if you

167
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:43,920
want to use your razer chroma lighting effects with all

168
00:11:42,079 --> 00:11:49,120
your other devices and your supported games and you want a 60 keyboard

169
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:52,079
then this is the one to go for so thanks for watching ShortCircuit if you like

00:11:50,399 --> 00:11:56,160
this video you might like our other previous review of the candy bar

171
00:11:53,760 --> 00:12:00,959
keyboard that came with a cool kind of diy kit and that is a good foot in the

172
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:04,880
door for enthusiast keyboards if you want something that's plug and play then

173
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:07,880
this is the way to go bye
